ArgoUML

This is of interest for all ArgoUML developers, using Mac OS X. Apple released a preview of JDK 1.4.1 on the apple developer network. For more information have a look at apple's website.

We are happy to announce that we aquired a opensource license from RefactorIT, which enables us to use the whole ArgoUML source with this tool. RefactorIT is a tool aimed at helping developers to refactor code and is entirely written for java ... [More] developers. It is thus a nice addition to the tools available for us to improve ArgoUML. RefactorIT allows us to: compute metrics of the source code dig in the source code generate hyperlinked source code helps through a number of automated refactoring tools, such as automatic method creation from code fragements splitting classes etc. When you would like to use RefactorIT, please download it from the above mentioned URL and register as a user in order to obtain the open source license key. Our thanks to RefactorIT for providing all ArgoUML developers to make use of their tool! Markus [Less]

Fellow software developers, The ArgoUML community of developers is proud to present the new stable version of ArgoUML. Since the last stable release (0.10.1 on the 7th of July) there has been a lot of activity in the ArgoUML project. Most of ... [More] the activity has been fixing of bugs and some interior changes so functionally this release has very little additions over 0.10.1 in relation to the amount of work put into it. It is safe to say that this stable release of ArgoUML is the best ArgoUML release so far. There has been a huge amount of problems solved in this release. The release is however not bugg-free. There are a lot of known and yet unknown bugs left in this release and the work continue with identifying and solving them. As you know, ArgoUML is an Open Source project. This means that all the development is made by a community of interested programmers, students and researchers, contributing their time towards the advance of ArgoUML. This means three things. First of all anybody is allowed and encouraged to download the source code and improve on it with the hope that the improvements eventually will be incorporated into the project so that everyone can benefit from it. Secondly ArgoUML has been, is and will be a tool containing interesting new ideas in the field of UML design. ArgoUML relies on you to use, report problems, and if you want help in tracking down problems or do other work. If you would like to contribute your ideas and your time to the further development of this project you are welcome to do so by joining the project. You can also use ArgoUML as a framework to test your own ideas on how to build tools for UML design. On the Internet, ArgoUML has become one of the most well-known UML projects. If you look for 'UML' at Google you will find it on the first page. If you search for 'UML tool' it shows up first. Since version 0.10.1 the following big improvements have been made: New version of GEF is included. Property files for localization (not entirely) Russian language New way to handle notations making it possible to plug in other programming languages. Furthermore 0.12 contains countless problems solved, too many to remember or list. You can download it from http://argouml.tigris.org. Or you can directly launch it via Java Web Start (if you have that installed). Thanks to everyone that contributed to this. /Linus [Less]

The development release 0.11.1 of ArgoUML is now released. This is a release which is in several respects better than 0.10.1 but also in some areas probably a little shakier since a lot of changes are made. Big fixes: New handling of ... [More] Notations Released version of GEF included ArgoUML now tries to detect incorrectly saved XMI and generates a warning. Lots of small fixes: ID Pri Summary 299 P1 I loose class diagrams between sessions 324 P1 add use case to diagram moves item into new package 827 P1 cpu at 100% during diagram editing 964 P1 Duplicate diagram names => project corrupted 277 P2 Code Generation fails if Javadoc ist edited 323 P2 Display refresh fails for class diagram 544 P2 text boxes saved as UTF-8 but loaded as ASCII 612 P2 Critique > Browse Critics... selection problem 734 P2 Loading problem of zargo file 844 P2 When adding anything new from Property Tab of a package, the tree is not updated 864 P2 Association ends values don't display properly in properties window 926 P2 Interfaces not generated by Java Generator 931 P2 Multiplicity not generated correctly by Java Generator 319 P3 documentation fields do not have scroll bars 465 P3 classes link does not work 517 P3 when saving diagrams as svg the .svg file extension must be included or diagrams are not generated 531 P3 Argo stumbles over Escape character when loading 558 P3 Problems with class attribute multiplicity 561 P3 operation notation in UML is not correct 596 P3 Delete from model does not remove class from all diagrams 608 P3 adding attribute types in properties pane 663 P3 Constructors as operations not handled well 704 P3 Missing stereotypes for CollaborationRole 767 P3 Cannot hide Interface methods 768 P3 "documentation" tag on classes is lost 774 P3 Locale.setDefault() in org.argouml.application.Main.main() 803 P3 ArgoUML's window slightly to big for my screen 805 P3 Printing fit to page option 810 P3 Stereotypes missing for node and component 848 P3 Stereotype for attribute/operation not shown in the diagram 863 P3 1..1 Association Multiplicity not shown on Class Diagram 909 P3 accent characters not saved properly 913 P3 ArgoUML will not start when Project on startup is corrupted 933 P3 Guarded concurrency not generated to synchronized 959 P3 Loading a zargo-file fails if class diagrams have the same name 587 P4 "Add realization" button for package/model does nothing 590 P4 Saving unsupported graphics type fails silently 710 P4 Missing stereotypes for AssociationRole 756 P4 activity diagrams misnamed in file tree as state 765 P4 Representation of attributes on class diagram 929 P4 Concurrency does not have a default value 934 P4 Deleting an inner class from model doesn't refresh navigator pane 560 P5 Delay in marking abstract operation in italics 581 P5 Code Gen chokes on internal anonymous class 585 P5 Incorrect icons in the navigation pane 930 P5 Make 'synchronized' guarded There are still a lot of unresolved problems in ArgoUML 0.11.1. Details: This release was build on a SunOS 5.7 (Solaris 2.7) host with jdk1.3.0_02. It is not as thouroughly tested as I would like it to be due to timing constraints and bandwidth problems and problems running the junit test. [Less]
